Syuri jumps upwards, raising her DreamBlade into the air. As she begins to fall, she swing the sword down, it slamming right into the top of the crab's head. However, her blade bounces right off immediately, seemingly causing no impact. Within her helmet, Syuri's face morphs into one of shock. But it slowly turns to one of pain, as the monster slams one of it's claw hands into her body, sending her flying past her teammates into a building a couple yards away.

"SYURI!" Keiji shouts out as he watches his comrade get blown away in one swipe. He then looks at Paige, who seems to be shaking from both the harsh winds, as well as what she just witnessed.

But the two slowly turn back towards the opponent, who has gone back to stomping it's feet against the ground, crushing roads, buildings, cars, and from sounds heard, even people. Keiji grips at the DreamTrident roughly, vanishing in a flash of blue light. When he appears again, it's at the stomach of the beast.

He brings the trident back some, pointing it right at the belly of the beast. He then unleashes it's tips in a furious barrage against the metal like flesh of the wraith. But just like with Dream White's efforts, the attacks do nothing to cause the android any harm. The creature then raises it's knee up, connecting with the stomach of Dream Blue, causing him to scream in agony. The monster then grabs him with one of it's claws, squeezing him tightly for minutes before throwing him down to the ground, Keiji slamming into a van.

This nightmarish monster then slowly turns around to face a business office building after feeling a bit of a poking sensation. On the roof of the building stands Paige, firing away rapidly with her DreamShooter at the monster. Her blasts slam into it's arms, head, and chest, but do no damage. The wraith, agitated by this let's out another shriek, it so loud that Paige slams her hands against her helmet to try and block out the noise. The shout also being loud enough to shatter every window in the area.

The beast throws it's head back, and slams it forward to look at the ground, releasing a single wide beam of it's dark energy. The beam rips into the ground, burning into the Earth itself. Paige then turns around, she beginning to run as fast as she can as the beam makes it's way to the office building where she is standing. As it collides with the building, the materials which made it begin to fly up into the air, causing Paige to stumble as the beam continues to make it's way towards her. She unfortunately trips on an uprooted pipe, and screams as she falls off the building's roof, beginning to fall to the ground.
----------------------------------------
They stand there waiting. Eventually, the monster turns to look at the skyscraper where they stand. After it does so, Syuri takes in a deep breath.

"DreamCannon, blast off!" The three rangers shout, Syuri slamming her hand against the trigger on the handle of the DreamShooter.

As it's ball of multi colored energy shoots off, the wraith lets out another shrieking growl, firing off a sphere of red and black energy, it's sphere bigger then the one the rangers shot off. The two energy balls collide, struggling for a little bit as the three watch on. But then, beneath the helmets, their faces turn to pure shock and horror, as the monster's energy wins over their's. This causes the two spheres to combine and fire back at the skyscraper.

The light of combined energy fills their eyes as the energy sphere slams into the skyscraper. The building then suddenly implodes collapsing in on itself with the Dreamrangers falling down with it. Aimi, who saw this from a few blocks away cries out her friends' names in terror, and begins to run towards the once skyscraper, the monster moving on away from that block.

Aimi reaches the skyscraper, people around it sitting or laying injured, or trying to crawl, limp, or walk away. She runs to the rubble of the skyscraper, and begins picking at it, trying to find her friends. After digging for what seems like hours, and probably is, she falls down in horror. She has found her friends, they laying buried in debris, bloody, broken, and unconscious. Aimi begins to cry as she looks at them. She sits there forever, crying for the discovery she has made.

But after a while, she notices Keiji's hand twitching. She crawls over to the three, watching as his hand twitches. Slowly, his eyes begin to twitch as well, trying to open. Aimi smiles a little but continues to cry. The monster continuing to destroy the city, the nightmare queen's laughter continuing to ring out in her realm.

"YES! YES! DIE DREAMRANGERS! D I E! DIE!" She shouts out while continuing to cackle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sixth Dream: Dream Ruler! Descend!

Aimi kicks open the door to the Ranger's apartment, dragging Paige in with her. Keiji, who is a bleeding and bruised mess limps in after her, Syuri laying on his shoulders. Aimi slowly lays Paige down on the couch, Keiji placing Syuri on the floor before falling down onto his rear next to her, he cringing at the pain in his entire body. Aimi rushes back through the door into her room and house, returning a couple of minutes later with a first aid kit. She falls down in between Paige and Keiji, opening the box up quick as can be.

After daylight has faded into night, Aimi sits against a wall in the three's mini house, he face covered in dirt, her hands in both dirt and blood. Her three friends either sit or lay down, sleeping, healing. They told her that they may not really be humans. But for three people who may or may not be human, they were certainly wrecked by that giant thing. She had seen them come home beat up, but never like that.

As she continued to sit and think about the destruction she had witnessed, the laptop sitting on the small table started to beep repeatedly. Aimi crawled over to it slowly, noticing that an icon had appeared on the screen, indicating a video call. She accepted the call, and was greeted by Dr. Edogawa.

"Doctor Edogawa." Aimi says somewhat surprised, bowing out of respect. The doctor returns the action.

"Hello Aimi." He replies.

Edogawa then looks around through the camera at the apartment, his face turning to shock as he sees the three Dreamrangers all out.

"W W What happened?!"

Aimi starts to tear up as she begins to explain. She goes through all that happens, from the call from Jung Moroi, to the giant creature attacking, and ending with how it destroyed the three, and how she brought them back here for safety. At the end of her tale, Edogawa removes his glasses to wipe his eyes with his hand, he replacing them afterwords with a sigh.

"I see..."

Silence hangs between the two for minutes. Aimi eventually speaking up softly.

"Is...is there anything we can do to stop that thing?"

"There may be..." He begins "...but only if I can get that request passed. If those higher up here in my division approve, I'm fairly certain we could defeat this beast."

Aimi's face lightens up a little, a small smile painting it's way against her face.

"Really?" She asks eagerly.

"Really. I'll try to get it passed as quickly as I can." Dr. Edogawa explains to the human.

Aimi nods her head, the smile still etched upon her lips. As she goes to end the call, Edogawa calls out her name. She quickly looks at the screen. He then explains that while he works on getting his request approved, that she does not let the three warriors fight. He can tell how beat up they are, and another fight against the wraith may prove fatal. He then says again to not under any circumstance let the three fight, even if the giant wraith reappears. After a minute of silence, Aimi nods her head in agreement, ending the call.

In the castle that stands in the middle of the Nightmare Realm, Jung Moroi sits in her throne room, a grin firmly set in her mouth. After witnessing what her new home made creature has done to the human realm, it filled her with such joy and gitty that she thought that even as a non human, she may actually experience an orgasm. On top of that, she got to witness those meddling Dreamrangers get pummeled to death. She had on her hands a creature that could destroy anything, even Morpheus' most prized heroes. She was ready to take other the human realm, as well as The Dreaming.

As she continued to take in her accomplishment, Raison stepped into the throne room. She notices him after a minute or so, she then turning his attention to him.

"Oh my dear Raison, did you see what I did to those annoying vermin?" She asks cooly in her usual sensual voice to him.

"I did indeed my queen." The deformed yet perfect soldier answers.

Raison she says after a moment of silence. Yes he answers. Jung then tells him to let loose her toy again as soon as possible, as she wishes to cripple and destroy Earth as quickly as possible.

"As you wish my lady." Raison answers.

"Excellent." Moroi replies back, she then making a movement of her hand signalling for him to leave.

Raison starts to make his leave, but as he reaches the door, he stops and turns around to face his queen.

"My queen."

Jung turns around to look at him again.

"Yes Raison?"

"The...results of that project have arrived."

Jung's face then lights up in the darkness of her throne room.

"Really?" She asks cooly.

"Yes my lady, they have." Raison replies.

"That's so...perfect. Send the results up immediately."

"As you wish." Raison says before exiting the room, leaving his queen to smile in the dark.

As the afternoon sun shines down on the previous day's destruction, Aimi, Syuri, Paige, and Keiji sleep all huddled around each other. The eyes of the Dreamrangers then pop open as the ground begins to tremble. Aimi wakes up slowly after them, the three of them then, while in pain, jump up to their feet. They slowly make their way over to the window to stare out.

Through the window, they see that the creature has returned, and is once again causing destruction. As they stare out the window, the three's faces turn to ones of serious anger. Syuri then rips off a bandage from her head. They then walk over to the door to head out, but Aimi slides in front of them to try to block them.

"Aimi...move..." Syuri says.

"No!" She snaps back in a ton unfamiliar to the three.

"Aimi move, we need to..." Keiji begins

"No! You are not leaving! I promised Edogawa I wouldn't let you leave!"

The three look at each other slowly and back and forth. They then nod, Paige snapping her fingers. With the snap, the three vanish into thin air before Aimi's eyes. Aimi then falls to her knees, shocked and in a small amount of tears over what happened. She then turns her attention towards the laptop, her eyes locked on it as she begins to think.

Syuri and gang, already changed, appear on top of a building, watching the monster destroy everything in it's path.

"We may lose again." Paige states.

"We could even die." Keiji adds in.

"It doesn't matter, we have a duty." Syuri finished up.

Paige and Keiji nod. The three stand there, staring out at the city and monster. As they watch, flames erupt and people cry out.

"Ready?" Syuri asks.

"Ready." Keiji and Paige reply.

As they go to move out, a beeping sound can be heard within their helmets. They pull back some, figuring out that they're being called. They mentally activate the call, being greeted with Edogawa's voice.

"What are you three doing?!" He demands

"Fighting a giant monster...duh." Keiji shoots back.

"In your condition!?" Edogawa demands again.

"Look, we appreciate the concern, but we have to fight. We have a solemn duty to protect this world." Syuri explains to her superior of sorts.

A long pause hangs in the air, the shrieking sounds of the wraith filling the ears of everyone in the city. After minutes of silence, a sigh can be heard from Edogawa's end. Finally, he speaks up.

"Well...at least..."

"At least what?"

"...At least use your new mechas." Dr. Edogawa asks.

"Mechas?" Syuri questions.

"Yes, mechas. The project I've been pushing to get approved was for you three to receive personal mechas to help fight any possibly wraith that was too much for you as you are now now. And after a lot of persuading, the project was approved."

"So what you're saying is..." Keiji rambles off.

A sigh can be heard.

"I'm saying that you three now have the power to defeat anything like that creature. You have a power that is unrivaled by anything Jung Moroi could possibly throw at you. You have Dream Ruler."

Start of commercial break

End of commercial break

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dream Ruler?" Paige questions, she confused by what the good doctor has just said.

"Yes, Dream Ruler. That is the name of your mecha." Edogawa states.

The three look at each other, shocked that they apparently have a force strong enough to be called ruler, and that will supposedly defeat this creature they face.

"Dr. Edogawa, are you sure that this thing will be able to defeat this wraith?" Keiji asks concerned.

"Indeed I am. Not only should it be able to defeat the current wraith, but any and all wraiths that should present themselves to you." He explains, trying to be as through as possible.

"Wow..." Paige says.

"So..." Syuri begins "...how do we get the thing?"

"Hmm, perhaps I should explain that." Edogawa says with a bit of a chuckle.

"You think?" Syuri shoots back sarcastically.

A small sigh can be heard over the microphone.

"Just call out the follow. 'DREAM RULER, DESCEND!' Your mechs should come shortly afterwords. After that, you just need to combine them."

"Will do." Keiji confirms.

The three rangers look at each other before facing their monsterous enemy. They then throw their arms up to the sky, their heads following their hands afterwords. AT once, in unison, they then shout:

"DREAM RULER, DESCEND!"

The sky then turns a bluish white tint. As this happens, everybody, as well as the wraith looks up to the sky, watching the change occur. After a moment, a rumble can be heard and felt, the sun beginning to shine intensely bright upon the area. A burst of color and golden dust then occurs, and from the sun flies out three mechas that are in the shape of a tank, a stealth fighter, and a trailer truck. They ride through the air, people watching in shock and awe. As they appear, the sky turns back to normal.

Syuri, Keiji, and Paige look at each other again. They give each other a nod before vanishing into the air. They then all appear in their respective mechs: Syuri in the fighter, Keiji in the tank, and Paige in the trailer. They ride the sky with their vehicles, shouting out enjoyment as they do so.

"This is so cool!" Paige cries out.

Keiji, shoots out bursts of fire towards the wraith. The blasts connect, and the creature cries out in a bit of pain, it staggering back a little. "What power this thing has." Keiji comments, grinning within his helmet.

Syuri zips all throughout the air, shouting out in a thrill of adrenaline. "I can get use to this." She says, smirking a bit.

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, but do you think you can combine now and beat that thing?" Dr. Edogawa asks somewhat impatiently and worriedly.

"You ruin my fun so much doc. How do we combine?" Syuri asks.

"Call out 'DREAM GATTAI!'"

"Roger that." Keiji confirms.

"DREAM GATTAI!" The three shout before racing their mechas towards each other.

Keiji's Dream Tank then skids and drifts to a stops, the internal breaks kicking in. The tank then flips upwards as the treads pull them self down to connect with the leg kibble. The front part of the tank then flips out to form the feet. The cockpit then moves up a bit, forming the lower torso, it standing in the sky proudly.

The Dream Fighter that Syuri pilots continues to fly through the sky, and even in between some buildings. It then bursts upwards into the sky, spinning wildly as it flips it's self down from it's fuselage. It then spirals down, locking into position with the cockpit of the tank, the torso now fully formed. The wings then fold inwards, forming the back piece of the mecha.

Paige's trailer then splits itself in two, it shooting out a a bit of contents. The trailer then splits again, two pieces flying off towards the leg portion of the tank. They fly down, and then shoot up, sliding onto the feet and leg portion of the tank up to the thigh, forming the final pieces of the legs. Two big portions of the trailer then shoot sideways, locking into the side of the stealth fighter to form the shoulders. Once it does so, a panel opens up in each part, the arms, and then hands shooting out. Finally, the contents it ejected begins to fall down towards it. As it does so, the Dream Fighter opens up a panel of it's own, the head of the mecha sliding up. The contents then slams down onto the head, completing it and forming a helmet, and thus completing Dream Ruler.

The three warriors who now sit in the cockpit of the robo in the middle of the torso fly their giant champion down to the ground, making sure it lands a few feet away from the gigantic wraith, they facing it head on. Dream Ruler's eyes then flash on, they a reddish yellow.

"This is so awesome!" Paige shouts out, amazed by what they have done and acquired.

"It feels so powerful and full of energy. Doc wasn't kidding when he said this thing was great." Keiji adds in, he still in awe of this being.

"Heh." Syuri scoffs out, grinning ear to ear.

In the Nightmare Realm, a loud, piercing cry can be heard throughout the realm. The cry belonging to Jung Moroi as she fully takes in what has just appeared, knowing that this thing could fully well defeat her monster.

"NO NO NO!" Jung shouts, she slamming her hand upon her throne, the force causing the castle to shake a little bit.

In the human world, the three continue to stare down the monster with Dream Ruler. The monster stares back intensely. It then lets out one of it's shrieking howls before it begins shooting off towards the mecha. As it rushes towards it, it raises up one of it's arms, it ready to crush this gigantic robo to pieces. As it gets closer, Syuri smirks again. As it comes within hitting distance, the wraith lets it's arm loose towards the torso of the mecha, looking to cleave it in two.

The rangers are faster though, and shoot upwards, the wings folding out to let them fly through the air, and thus dodge the enemy attack. The wraith shoots it's head up to look at the being which it just missed, the glowing eyes of it locked up the nightmarish form.

"Uh uh uh, gotta be quicker." Syuri says cooly, toying with her opponent.

The monster shrieks again, pointing it's hands upwards towards the robo, red and black light channeling around them.

"It's about to fire off some of it's energy!" Keiji calls out

"Perfect, let's see how flexible this new toy is."

The wraith then fires off a barrage of single shots of it's dark energy. But no shots connect, as Dream Ruler bypasses and dodges every last one through various forms of movement. The nightmare creature, angered by this, shoots off two largely wide and long beams, looking to trap the robot. But they are quick enough to floor it, and Ruler flies up into the sky, letting the beams crash into each other, the fall out causing a few bits of energy to slam into the nearby area.

"Can we beat this thing up now?" Keiji asks, ready to fight.

"Heh, go for it Keiji." Paige replies.

Keiji smiles within his suit, he now flying the mecha back down to the ground, but directly towards the monster. Once close enough, Dream Ruler lets out a single punch, it slamming into the chest of the wraith, the blow so strong it makes the creature fly backwards some. Before it can rest though, Dream Ruler appears right in front of it, it unleashing a barrage of punches, elbows, and kicks, each blow connecting. The wraith takes each blow, but continues to shriek in anger. It then begins to fight back, the two beings now exchanging blows as they rumble their way through Shinjuku, civilians running in fear of being crushed, sparks flying out as Dream Ruler is hit.

"Take this, and this, and this you bastard!" Keiji shouts out as he fights with the wraith.

The fight rumbles on, and Keiji now goes for a decapitating like kick. But the monster is faster this time, and grabs hold of Dream Ruler, flinging it away. However they eject the wings, and fly right back up to the enemy, delivering a power knee it's it's face, the blow sending the creature into a building, destroying it on impact. The nightmarish beast gets back up and unleashes another wail. It then pulls it's head back, and unleashes one of it's gigantic beams of energy from it's mouth, it large enough to fully hit every part of the robo, even if it flies up a little.

As they brace for impact, Dream Ruler's flings fly out around it's body, forming a protective shield. The energy blast slams into it, causing Dream Ruler to slide back little by little.

"Dammit, we're gonna die!" Syuri shouts out angrily.

"No we aren't!" Keiji shouts back.

"Guys, look!"

The three look through the cockpit. While the energy beam is pushing them backwards, the shield has not cracked or broken, keeping them protected. As they watch in awe, the monster gets more angry, it trying to intensify it's attack. However, the shield still will not give, and after minutes of it, finally breaks up the beam, causing it to scatter out into the sky. The wings then slide back into the back of the mecha, the rangers cheering as they watch on. The wraith now fearful in shock.

"Alright, let's ends this little bastard's attack." Syuri calls out.

Dream Ruler then hovers into the air a little, the wings shooting back out. It's hands then retract back into it's arms. Out then comes to golden beams of energy, then crackling with lightning around them. All three dream warriors grin, they ready to end this being's miserable existence.

"DREAM RULER, FINAL DREAM RUSH!" They shout out, Dream Ruler then taking off like a bullet.

The wraith tries it's best to stop the impending attack, it firing off volley after volley of dark energy. But the Ruler is too nimble and fast to be hit, it avoiding every shot perfectly. Right before impact, the rangers let out a heroic cry, and the creature lets out one last scream. Dream Ruler then crosses it's arms up above it's head some, slamming them down diagonally right as it hits the wraith. The robo slices through the creature in a X pattern, the monster exploding immediately. Rum Ruler then slides to a stop, turning around as the beams are replaced by it's hands. The robot, civilians, and the rangers look where the opponent once stood. What seems almost at unison, all of them let out a cry of relief, joy, and tiredness, happy that the nightmare is over.

Inside the cockpit, Syuri, Paige, and Keiji lean back in their sights, each letting out a sigh of relief.

"We did it guys." Keiji states.

Paige nods her head, she smiling tiredly in her helmet.

"Yeah, we did." Syuri exhales.

Later, some time after the fight, the rangers sit bandaged up in a park with Aimi. The four watch as the civilians clean up the area, rebuilding the life that was destroyed by the creature. As they watch on, they can't help but smile every so often.

"I guess humans do care." Syuri says.

"Of course we do." Aimi replies.

"I know you care. But I always figured you just all moved off after a city would get wasted." She follows up, looking over at Aimi some.

"Maybe at one time humans did. But now, we just rebuild. We have to rebuild. If we don't, we'd have nowhere to live, nowhere to hang out, nowhere to work. We'd have nothing. But rebuilding gives us all of that, as well as hope that this time, everything will be better. Aimi explains to her dream world friend.

"That sounded quite beautiful Miss Aimi." Paige replies, she smiling softly.

Aimi smiles at her in return. She then looks back over to Syuri. After a while, Syuri smiles a little, scoffing a little. Keiji then smirks a little, shaking his head.

"Comeon meatbag," Syuri starts "Let's get you home."

"Okay dreambag." Aimi responds with a smirk.

The four of them then stand up as the sun begins to set. They chuckle some as they walk off down the park heading home. As they walk though, the spot where they once sat becomes filled with two shadows that fit that of people.
